Pokemon GO update releases Gen 2 into the wild (sorta)

Pokemon GO was definitely one of the top games of 2016. The summer was littered with the now iconic Pokemon GO players walking like zombies while trying to find that elusive creature. For months now, we have been hearing about the release of generations of Pokemon that follow the original 150. Well, as of today, Niantic and the Pokemon Company have made that a reality by releasing select Pokemon into the game, but there is a catch.

Starting today, players can hatch Togepi, Pichu and “select Pokémon originally discovered in the Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games.” However, the catch is that they can only be hatched at this point – they are not in the wild to be found and caught. Beyond the Togepi and Pichu, there is no word on what else has been released. So it’s time to start hatching those eggs again, you never know what you might get.
